Title: Install Updates update coming soon
Post by: ralphy on April 16, 2017, 07:43:57 PM
In the same way Create System Report (https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/linux-lite-software-development/create-system-report-next-update/) was updated, we are bringing few updates (specially in the backend) to Install Updates. We've moved from gksu to pkexec which allows users to run the application from within any account (https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/suggestions-and-feedback/administrator-log-in-assumed-by-lite-*-tools/) as long as the user can authenticate as admin:

And we are also giving Lite Updates listing an HTML output, matching the layout with that in System Report to keep it uniform.

Suggestion. Please add an option to display the change log for updates so we can see what has changed in the new release. It can be done now in Linux Mint.

I think there should be an option to choose updates selectively. Now there is no option to select which item I want to update. This will be a neat feature of Lite Update.
